We now offer a foam testing service via the best foam labs in the world. The test covers all the physical-chemical properties that need to be considered as well as a fire test to ensure the foam works to an effective standard.
Firefighting foam can be a source of frustration for firefighters. Sometimes this is the result of not understanding the product and variances of the equipment and sometimes it’s because of the quality of the product itself. If you are worried about the quality and performance of your foam, we can send it away for actual fire testing in our partner’s world-class lab in Spain, where it will be analyzed and performance tested in line with international standards whilst using your local water.
Test your foam/water as a mixed solution in a non-critical situation. This test will determine if you are mixing the foam correctly if the foam/water solution will in fact work, and if it meets minimum international standards.
Firefighting Foam Testing – WHY?
What is the quality and effectiveness of your foam? Are you concerned that it has degraded over time or suffered from the impact of storage conditions? Or maybe you want to be assured you have the best product on hand for the risks you face? We now offer a foam testing service via the best foam labs in the world. The test covers all the physical-chemical properties that need to be considered as well as a fire test to ensure the foam works to an effective standard.
Some issues that affect the quality of foam concentration:
Dilution or evaporation
Topping off with inferior or incompatible products
Excessively high or low storage temperatures
Unsuitable storage conditions
Here are some of the physical-chemical properties we measure in foam concentrates when we perform our foam test:
Specific gravity
pH value
Sediments
Expansion index
25% Drainage time
Surface tension.
Interfacial tension
Spreading coefficient (when applicable)
Freezing point
Refractive index
Viscosity
Fire tests
What you need to provide:
A sample of your foam.
